When I sent ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
anne my annual "hi, would you like to go look at lilacs together?" email this year, she said she wasn't up for that much exertion, because she is still dealing with Long Covid. Instead, she suggested we get together outdoors somewhere and just talk for a while.
Anne, Adrian, Cattitude, and I were all free this afternoon. We met at the Public Garden, then walked a couple of blocks to a boring public courtyard that has tables and movable chairs, stopping long enough for me to buy a cup of soft ice cream from a Mr. Softee truck, something I hadn't done for years before the pandemic.
The conversation was part catching up, and part just rambling. It had been too long since we got together. When Anne started thinking that she might be running low on energy, we decided that would be a good time to stop. But today was the first Copley Square farmers market of 2024, and we were halfway between Copley and Arlington on the Green Line, so we went to the market.
It's early, so there wasn't much in the way of fresh vegetables, but we bought Macoun and Mutsu apples from one stall, and a small Concord loaf from Hi-Rise Bakery.
That makes three times I have socialized in person in less than two weeks, which is a lot by my current standards. The weather was excellent Tuesday and a little cool for sitting outdoors today. I hope to take advantage of the good weather some more before it starts being too hot for me to be comfortable.
Anne is being more covid-cautious than I, Cattitude, and Adrian, including keeping her N95 mask on outdoors. When we realized this, Cattitude asked if we should put our masks back on, and Anne said she didn't need us to.
